gee, all the people we love to hate in the same place at the same time.it's just what this neighborhood has been missing: a crew of properly dressed mindless folks crowded into a fenced-in area. i hope none of our taxes went for this project.fortunately for those in attendance the weather cooperated.i didn't see any chairs there. comfort does not seem to be a requirement for this event.

I can't believe how angry this stupid project makes me. Here's a sentence from Gothamist:"The ground is painted as a chessboard; five large transparent cases containing tokens symbolize various aspects of daily urban life: Wealth, Mobility, Sustainability, Livability and Affordability."Let's hope for some rat action!

There were a lot of Wall Street douchebags and Fashionistas wannabes over there. Not a lot of minorities. They have really thought that over to exclude them. Nice to be insulated by money and whiteness.

1. affordable housing (novel, I know)2. a f*cking subway system that works. (that also doesn't get my tax money unless I get to ride it for free...fair is fair)3. no more stupid rules about dancing.4. Less stupid billboards and ads everywhere, the only difference between them and graffiti is that graffiti is free and more creative.

Finally, 5. Create an a fake version of NYC somewhere else...like in Kansas...for these lame-o carrie bradshaw wannabes to stuff themselves silly with cupcakes at and barf on the sidewalks of with their lame banker boyfriends.

Sorry but stupid me still doesn't get what this lab thing is. Granted I didn't actually read the description, but I'm usually good at surmising shit. See this seems like a lot of fake-high falutin bullshit to me. People and their fucking concepts.

Greetings from Puerto Rico. This is from your May/11 post:”Unfortunately, a resident who lives adjacent to the lot wrote me to say: Just to let you know the Guggenheim project next door to my place plans to chop down a 60-foot tree [this] morning”.

How likely is it that any of that bunch thinks of themselves as a "worker"? Part of a "professional class", for sure, but "worker", I doubt it. No identification whatsoever with the working class. Joke's on them.
